It's all one big pile of money, 'cept for stuff like 401k and pension you can't actually touch [or w/o large penalty.]

You find a c-note on the ground. Are you more likely to spend it on a whim than a hundred you earned? I am. Insert "got it because someone died", "won it in a card game", etc.. for "found it on the ground" and you get my approach. Not totally logical I know but understandable I think.
